Refund Policy - Canada

The Registration Fee is non-refundable at all times except in the case where the student visa has been rejected. Should a student visa be rejected from a Canadian Embassy, the rejection letter should be submitted in order to have the registration fee refunded. All deposits will also be refunded upon submission of the official rejection notification from the Canadian Embassy.

To apply for a tuition refund, the student or agent must submit a written notice of withdrawal.

There are no refunds for classes missed due to holiday, graduation, orientation, and / or other situations beyond the school’s control.

In this policy, the word “program” refers to the full cycle of studies to which the student registered. All refunds apply based on the assumption that the full payment has been received.
